Revision of the Botanophila helviana species group (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) in Europe
Species of the Botanophila helviana species group are small, blackish anthomyiids known from temperate to subarctic (northern/elevated) parts of the Holarctic Region. Adult flies are anthophilous, obtaining pollen and nectar from various flowering plants. Preliminary evidence suggests that the larva...
